I have 19" GT3's. I have a 15mm spacer for the rears. 43 is a horrible offset. I believe the GT3's are back in production. SSR was purchased by Tanabe. I have a soft brush I use on the wheels. I pay no special attention to the wheel bolts. They always come clean with a simple once over with the brush.

Is your car lowered or stock height?

I'm curious. If you are using a 15mm spacer, what is the actual offset of your rear wheel? If Atl300zx used the same 15mm spacer, that would make his +43 a +28, which would be the same as most aftermarket rear wheel set-ups.

Original GT3 offset is 43. Now with the 15mm spacer it is 28.

Do you have any problems with rubbing?

With my rear drop close to 1.5" I rolled my fenders before installing the spacers. But likely I would have rubbed. It's close even with the rolled fenders.

Did you have to get longer wheel studs?
